New strategies in STEMI treatments

Session comprising selected EuroPCR 2026 abstract submissions

Moderators: R. Ng, S. Pissot

Summary

Investigate new strategies in STEMI treatment through data from international registries and clinical trials. This session examines the comparative efficacy of sirolimus versus paclitaxel-coated balloons, plaque modification in calcified lesions, novel cardioprotective techniques during primary PCI, and the role of AI-assisted ECG interpretation in STEMI pathways.

Presentations available when logged in:

  • Sirolimus vs paclitaxel-coated balloons in STEMI: international multi-centre registry
  • Real-world comparative outcomes of plaque modification in STEMI with severe calcified lesions
  • Transcoronary cooling and dilution for cardioprotection during primary PCI: the STEMI-cool pilot trial
  • Myocardial improvement with aspiration thrombectomy in acute myocardial infarction: the Miami heart study
  • Impact of coronary calcification in multivessel PCI for STEMI: the MULTISTARS AMI trial
  • ChatGPT-assisted electrocardiogram interpretation can help in the STEMI activation pathway
